Anti-inflammatory Turmeric Latte
If you’re struggling with inflammation in your body, whether that’s hay fever, arthritis, IBS, skin irritations or any other kinds of inflammatory condition, Turmeric is a great addition to your daily diet and this warming drink is a great way to do that. Unlike the title suggests this is caffeine-free and makes a great evening soother before bed.
Turmeric is being hailed as a superfood because the curcumin it contains has been shown to have natural anti-inflammatory properties. Turmeric works great in curries like this lentil curry but if you don’t fancy curry for dinner every night this drink is another great option.

Ingredients
2 mugs/cups of unsweetened plant-milk (I like almond or coconut milk drink)
1 tbsp local honey (optional)
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
A small pinch of black pepper – this helps release the curcumin – which is the anti-inflammatory compound from the turmeric
1 tsp ground ginger (optional)
Method
Add all ingredients to a blender (if you have one) and blend until combined and powders have dissolved or whisk powders into milk by hand.
Pour into a small saucepan and bring to a light boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for up to 5 minutes or serve over ice if too hot for a warm drink!
